I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach

Review by Tilly

I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach by Allison and Wayne Marks! This book is about two kids named Jack and Jillian who enter a cooking contest together that will be live on TV. The person running the contest, Phineas Farnsworth III, is Jack’s idol. Jillian’s mom died, and Farnsworth really wants her to talk about it at the competition, but Jillian doesn’t want to. Farnsworth tries to get Jack to convince her, and Jack almost does it. But then he finds something out that turns him against Farnsworth. There’s a plot twist that’s really unexpected! I would probably rate this book 4/5 stars. I also really liked the recipes at the end of the book. I am going to make the rugelach! I think this book is perfect for kids who like stories about baking, kindness, and friendship!

The $150,000 Rugelach is about 2 kids who like to cook. one of them is a boy named jack and he loves to cook he wants to be famus one day. the other is a girl named jillian she used to love to cook and her mom owened a pastrie shop but when her mother died and they moved she wanted nothing to do with cooking . when her dad lost his job they were short on money and she was determend to help so when a newspaper article came out of a $150,000 prize for a kids cooking contest she was in . Jack was also in he loved to cook and this was the chance he was waiting for. The two of them are rivels beacase of a class party Jillian broght the best chocolet rugluch ever and jack was jealous. So when they got picked as team mates for the contest they have to work together. Can the two rivels work together and win? Read the 150,000 dollar rugluch to find out.
